I see that updates have been in CVS since Jan 9 and that the development branch
has the updated build. Is there a reason that a builds have not been requested
for the release branches? In case you're just waiting on testing, I'm building
packages from CVS now and will report back after running a few thousand messages
through.

Sorry, I did not wanted to release them blindly without trying them first.
Unfortunately, I was very busy at work and had no opportunity to push them
before Sunday. They were built at this time (jobs #2901 and #2902) and are
waiting for publishing since then.
